1. What is Macmiror Complex 500 and what is it used for

Macmiror Complex 500 contains two active substances: nifuratel and nystatin.
Nifuratel is a synthetic compound that effectively acts against protozoa, bacteria, and fungi that most often cause vaginal infections.
Nystatin is an antibiotic with antifungal action, primarily acting on fungi of the genus Candida spp.
Indications for use of Macmiror Complex 500:

• Treatment of vaginal and vulvar infections caused by: fungi of the genus Candida spp., Trichomonas vaginalis, bacteria.

The use of nifuratel and nystatin in one medicine makes Macmiror Complex 500 effective in treating vaginal and vulvar infections caused by fungi of the genus Candida spp, Trichomonas vaginalis, and bacteria.
Nifuratel and nystatin used simultaneously are more effective in patients with fungal and other vaginal infections than each of these substances used separately. Effective treatment of vaginal infections leads to the restoration of physiological conditions and reduces the risk of future infections. The medicine does not destroy lactic acid bacteria, which play a protective role and are present in the vagina of healthy women. Nystatin and nifuratel used locally - in the vagina - do not penetrate the blood and do not affect the entire body.
